Let’s talk about something we all do…
…but way fewer of us were taught how to do well.
Luna recently found out through pelvic floor physical therapy that you can actually poop just by breathing—like, for real. No pushing, no praying, no regretting every life decision that brought you to this moment. Just breathe in… and ploop out.
This comic is a celebration of the joyful (and surprisingly effective) power of body literacy. And also, poop. Lots of poop.
In all seriousness, this method is a real thing that helps people with chronic constipation, pelvic floor dysfunction, or even just general bathroom woes. We’re sharing it here with love, laughter, and absolutely no shame. May your squatty potties be sturdy and your breathing be efficient.
Have you ever heard of this technique before? Would you try it? We’re dying to know (but not, like, straining).

Pelvic floor health is often overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. Chronic constipation is a common issue that affects many, leading to discomfort and stress during bathroom visits. Techniques like breathing exercises can aid in proper bowel movements and promote a healthier lifestyle. Breathing techniques, as shared by practitioners, empower individuals to take control of their bodily functions. The simple act of inhaling and exhaling correctly can be a game-changer, making the experience of using the bathroom much more pleasant. Developing body awareness and literacy is vital for understanding how our bodies work and can lead to improved health outcomes. In addition to breathing methods, it's essential to consider lifestyle factors that contribute to digestive health. Staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet rich in fiber, and ensuring regular physical activity can significantly alleviate issues like constipation. Moreover, pelvic floor physical therapy is becoming increasingly recognized for its effectiveness in addressing pelvic health, especially for those experiencing dysfunction. Many people still find it taboo to talk about bowel movements, but open conversations about these topics are crucial for education and awareness. Have you ever been curious about alternative methods to enhance your bathroom experience? You might be surprised by how mindful breathing can transform your approach to pooping and overall digestive health!
